Hey, thanks. We rushed to get it back together, and only missed the ATCO race. I wasn't sure what color I wanted to paint the car so, I just had my friend Barney at Performance Autocrafters in VA shoot some Flat Black Primer on the car. Then we bought Black Chrome front wheels, and sent the Rear wheels and other parts and had them done in black chrome. We are supposed to take the car to the Body shop this monday after the NOPI Rockingham race to get it painted. But we still don't know what color to paint it. Or if we should put graphics on it. We have a guy drawing us up some renderings. Any ideas? Thanks again.

Im usually not a red guy.....but on that car, a bright *** red with minimal graphics in white.....minimal meaning sponsors, partners, etc., in white lettering. That pic is way to busy for me.

Check out the car in this link:

Also , I am not a purple guy, but the HKS purple looks really hot too...

Well..to get back on topic in this post.. Congrats again RaceRedi!

Today at Rockingham/Nopi they ran a 7.16@189mph!!

I went up there from Myrtle Beach, SC mainly to just see that car in person and it was worth it. Thanks for the look guys and great work!

I have some vid of that run, but it is on Hi-8.. dunno how I could convert it and post?
